Pelican,
"equality as it is already assumed."

If this is the case, then there will have to be many more negative comments made about women by academics in universities, to at least equal the number of negative comments being made about men.

That would be equitable.

BTW. Feminism has done as much for Family Law, as it has done for education, and I haven't seen anything in education that shows any signs of improvement.

Well then keep up the good work vanna, your contributions will no doubt add to your self imposed equity equation

Pelican,
You can find a post where I have said something negative about women.

You can also find an article written by the feminist employed by two universities that has said something positive about the male gender.

Ironic in all the articles written by university academics about racism and prejudice and discrimination, some of the most discriminatory and bigoted of individuals in this country are being employed in universities.

Vanna, you're conveniently ingnoring the fact that women have had to endure negative comments for about 2 thousand years; that's why feminism has come to be.
For at least 2 thousand years women have been told:
engineering is a man's job,
'doctoring' is a man's job (but not nursing)
politics is a man's job
building is a man's job
teaching may be a woman's job, but university professor is definitely a man's job (why? Because women had no place a students at a university, much less as lecturers).
And getting back to Bettina, talking about sex was definitely a man's job; a woman's job was to point her toes to the ceiling, and think of England.
You want to talk about equitable, Vanna? The ladies have about 2 thousand years of catching up to do.

Grim,
Who told women that?

Could you find an article written by a university academic that says something positive about the male gender, and not the usual discriminatory, prejudiced and bigoted comments about men that are usually served up by academics, (while some are paid very high salaries I might add).

Grim it depends on what you want to believe.
It can become a pointless round of point scoring but try a rephrase of your points

For at least 2 thousand years men have been told:

'doctoring' is a man's job (but not nursing)
politics is a man's job
building is a man's job

You might consider who did most of the raising of children. Who instilled values into children at an impressionable age which set the tone for later expectations.

The failing of so much of feminist analysis is that it assumes that women have had no role in society and societies values up until recently, that's not fair to either gender.

Trying to make it about men oppressing women whilst ignoring all the bit's that don't suit is not helping anything, it's not reality and it hinders people learning from the past.

It's a lot like complaining about how the Menz sites are negative about feminists (and in some cases women in general) while being Ok with how overwhelmingly negative much feminist material is about men and masculinity.

Try vanna's challenge and see how much positive material you can find about men (not just men behaving in a feminine manner) from Australian feminist academics. I doubt that there is none but it is disturbing how overwhelmingly negative about men the bulk of the material is.
